-
-DESCRIPTION
-===========
-
-``flake8`` is a command-line utility for enforcing style consistency across
-Python projects. By default it includes lint checks provided by the PyFlakes
-project, PEP-0008 inspired style checks provided by the PyCodeStyle project,
-and McCabe complexity checking provided by the McCabe project. It will also
-run third-party extensions if they are found and installed.
-
-OPTIONS
-=======
-
-It is important to note that third-party extensions may add options which are
-not represented here. To see all options available in your installation, run::
-
-    flake8 --help
-

-    -v, --verbose         Print more information about what is happening in
-                          flake8. This option is repeatable and will increase
-                          verbosity each time it is repeated.
-    -q, --quiet           Report only file names, or nothing. This option is

-    --count               Print total number of errors and warnings to standard
-                          error and set the exit code to 1 if total is not
-                          empty.
-    --diff                Report changes only within line number ranges in the
-                          unified diff provided on standard in by the user.
-    --exclude=patterns    Comma-separated list of files or directories to
-                          exclude. (Default:
-                          .svn,CVS,.bzr,.hg,.git,__pycache__,.tox,.nox,.eggs,

-    --stdin-display-name=STDIN_DISPLAY_NAME
-                          The name used when reporting errors from code passed
-                          via stdin. This is useful for editors piping the file
-                          contents to flake8. (Default: stdin)
-    --format=format       Format errors according to the chosen formatter.

-                          (or skip). For example, ``--ignore=E4,E51,W234``.

-    --show-source         Show the source generate each error or warning.
-    --statistics          Count errors and warnings.

-    -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS  Number of subprocesses to use to run checks in
-                          parallel. This is ignored on Windows. The default,
-                          "auto", will auto-detect the number of processors

-    --append-config=APPEND_CONFIG
-                          Provide extra config files to parse in addition to the
-                          files found by Flake8 by default. These files are the
-                          last ones read and so they take the highest precedence
-                          when multiple files provide the same option.
-    --config=CONFIG       Path to the config file that will be the authoritative
-                          config source. This will cause Flake8 to ignore all
-                          other configuration files.

-    --benchmark           Print benchmark information about this run of Flake8
-    --bug-report          Print information necessary when preparing a bug
-                          report
-    --builtins=BUILTINS   define more built-ins, comma separated
-    --doctests            check syntax of the doctests
-    --include-in-doctest=INCLUDE_IN_DOCTEST
-                          Run doctests only on these files
-    --exclude-from-doctest=EXCLUDE_FROM_DOCTEST
-                          Skip these files when running doctests
-    --max-complexity=MAX_COMPLEXITY
-                          McCabe complexity threshold
